Video Electronystagmography/VNG [Caloric]

3200

Video Electronystagmography/VNG [Caloric]

Description:

It directly records eye movements (Rotational Nystagmus) by a Video Camera only in Eyes open position as well as to observe, measurement & analysis of Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) & evaluates Oculomotor System.

To avoid tea, coffee, or any stimulating drinks, chocolate & any form of smoking, tobacco etc. at least 2 hours prior to the test.

Patient is instructed to take only a light meal/not eats for several hours before the test.

Validation of Report: Around 3 months (depends on advancing age & Pathological Conditions).

.Eligibility Criteria:

Intact/Normal intellectual Functioning level.

Age range is generally adult population.

Patient should stay in Eyes Open position during testing.

Patient having Active Otorrhea, Impacted Cerumen/Debris in EAC, Anatomical Deformities (Aural Atresia/Stenosis), & any significant Outer and Middle Ear diseases is generally not a candidate for this test.

Caloric VNG is not recommended in case of Perforated Tympanic Membrane or any significant Middle Ear diseases.

It is objectively assesses mobility of the Tympano-Ossicular system as well as to rule out any Middle Ear Pathology (Tympanometry) & assesses the Acoustic Reflex Pathways (Ipsi & Contra) (Acoustic Reflexometry).

.Test Preparation:

Chewing, Swallowing, & Head or body movements are not allowed during testing as well as during sedated deep sleep, positive pressure may build up in the Middle Ears, which can compromise the results; although positive Middle Ear Pressure does not have any significant diagnostic values.

Validation of Report: Around 3 months (depends on advancing age & Pathological conditions).

High/Multi Frequency Tympanometry

Description:

Objectively assesses the Mass related Pathology of the Middle Ear.

.Test Preparation:

Chewing, Swallowing, Head or body movements are not allowed during testing as well as during sedated deep sleep, positive pressure may build up in the Middle Ears, which can compromise the results; although positive Middle Ear Pressure does not have any significant diagnostic values.

Validation of Report: Around 3 months (depends on advancing age & Pathological conditions).

Speech Language Therapy per sitting[By appointment]

It is a scientific procedure for Speech-Language disordered Populations.

.Test Preparation:

No preparation required, but it should be more effective if it continues with Occupational/Physio Therapy & Special Education.

Progress: Totally depends on the disorders & it generally a time consuming/long term procedures.

.

Eligibility Criteria:

Note: Voice Therapy & Adult Speech Therapy is done here only by prior appoinment. Child Speech-Language Therapy & Adult Language Therapy may be an option of us in future.

Tinnitus Retraining Therapy [T.R.T]/Per Sitting

300

Tinnitus Retraining Therapy [T.R.T]/Per Sitting

Description:

TRT is a threapy for reducing tinnitus in ear. This therapy is done when patient having tinnitus (ringing sound) in ear. You have to sit idle when threapy is don. Tinnitus Matching result are used to do Tinnitus Threapy. Audiometer is used for tinnitus therapy. It requires several sitting (vary from patient to patient) to reduce tinnitus. No preparation required for this test.

.Test Preparation:

Report considered to be valid till 3 to 6 months if other wise no significant changes taken place.

.Eligibility Criteria:

If Tinnitus Matching is done then only therapy continues otherwise these therapy not done. Drunken & drug addicted people or people suffering from contaminated diseases are not allowed for this test. For more contact 9830074043

2500

B.E.R.A / A.B.R. [Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry ] Diagnostic

Air Conduction ABR: It is used for Site of Lesion (differentiate Cochlear from Retrocochlear Pathology) testing & for threshold estimation (average degree of Hearing Level) objectively; in difficult to test population.

Bone Conduction ABR: It is used to detect Average Bone Conduction Hearing Level as well as Type of Hearing Loss, objectively (only in combination with Air Conduction ABR) & in presence of Anatomical Deformities like Aural Atresia/Stenosis etc.

.

Electrocochleography (ECochG/ECoG)

3500

Electrocochleography (ECochG/ECoG)

Description:

It is used to rule out Endolymphatic Hydrops (Meniere’s Disease), ascertaining of average hearing thresholds & helping the interpretation of ABR where the Peak “I” of ABR is not identifiable.

Patient should have Sensory/Neural Hearing Loss (not more than 50-60 dB, at mid to high frequency region) in Pure Tone Audiometry, otherwise the outcome will be contradictory/insignificant especially to evaluate Endolymphatic Hydrops.
